No You Can’t

The Tea Party Right found themselves seized up in the last two days. Calling obscene names at Democratic legislators; last night shouting ugly words at Stupak on the floor of the House Chamber. They will now have to deal with clearly being seen as the party of “no”. Even more clearly they have exposed themselves as the party of hate.

Steve Brodner feels he is a newcomer to illustration but that's because he has a really bad memory. Much of his career is worth remembering in any case. Most of it has been about a guy getting to absolutely live his dream; making pictures that make stabs at telling the truth in print about things he feels are important.

Caricature, which is a subcategory of illustration, is about finding the narrative elements within a portrait and making them clear as tools in making literal and figurative points. When done for publication, it is not merely about making big things bigger and small things smaller. It is storytelling. This involves knowledge about what is under the surface of a face and teasing it to the top. Caricature is not the destination. It is the journey. It's the bike you ride.
